A lively, physical game where players must avoid toppling a central object while dancing around it.
This is a refreshed adaptation from the All Eyes on Me retro party-game collection.
At a glance
Players: 4+ players.
You will need: A cushion or marked floor area and music.
Cost: Free instructions; use items you already have. Optional props or prizes may cost extra.
How to play
- Place a soft cushion in the centre of a clear space, or mark a small no-step area on the floor.
- Players dance or walk around it while music plays, keeping space between one another.
- The host changes the direction or calls a simple movement such as ‘tiptoe’.
- Anyone who touches the cushion pauses for one round, then rejoins.
- Play several short rounds or see who stays clear the longest.
Host’s tip
A hassock is a small padded footstool. Use a cushion for this adaptation, with no pushing or pulling.
Agree on the rules before you start. Guests can join, adapt a movement or pass; use points or optional playful challenges wherever the retro rules mention forfeits.
